Announcing Imouto Paradise!

We are pleased to announce the addition of Moonstone Cherry’s Imouto Paradise to the MangaGamer line-up! “Wholesome” family time awaits!

It’s summer vacation and Souichirou Nanase has nothing better to do with his time. Life could be boring, being stuck at home during those hot summer days… except he has 5 uniquely adorable little sisters to keep him company.

Boasting a plethora of delicious scenes with your favorite imoutos in all sorts of situations, there’s nothing not to like about Imouto Paradise. And if one little sister is not enough, there is also a harem route to explore…

So if this fits your idea of paradise, dive right in! Your imoutos are waiting for you…

The only problem: it is unclear when this game will get released. Lately all good games are on infinite pending, while only sealstone eroges are being released. And if going by the idea – one game a month – something good maybe will get released in the end of july. Though it mat be another sealstone….

So as you can see the translation isn’t half done yet. With every process after the translation to come, it will be late 2013/early 2014 when the release will be. But that’s just my opinion/rambling, we just have to wait and see 🙂

MG seems to have better conditions with the Moonstone titles and don’t rely on Moonstone making final fixes and corrections. They are probably ported completely to a new engine like Tick Tack! and the Softhouse-Seal titles. Therefore MG has much more control on the release date for ImoPara than Ef or Harukoi Otome for example.

Luckily, we were able to get the engine that Moonstone uses to work with English text with only minor changes necessary. It’s a third party engine but they were able to make the necessary changes for us. Not only is it that we are taking care of the all the localization tasks, it was actually a condition of being able to do their games. I guess that’s a win win situation.

And to clarify, the Softhouse-Seal titles are written using the Kirikiri engine to begin with, they aren’t being ported. There’s still a fair bit of work involved, but not nearly as time consuming. Porting budget titles probably isn’t a very good use of resources anyways.

So games that use kirikiri are easier to work with…say folks at Mangagamer, how about making some talks with Lilith Soft and Norn as both companies games use kirikiri and both companies produce pretty good and short nukige?
